'''Ormer Leslie "Lock" Locklear''' (October 28, 1891 &ndash; August 2, 1920) was an American daredevil [[stunt pilot]] and film actor.

His popular flying circus caught the attention of Hollywood, and he starred in ''[[The Great Air Robbery]]'' (1919), a screenplay about the mid-air piracy of a US airmail plane. In his next film, ''[[The Skywayman]]'', the plane crashed during a climactic dive, when the lighting team supposedly failed to douse the lights on cue, so Locklear was dazzled and flew blindly into the ground, dying instantly with his co-pilot Milton "Skeets" Elliott. The scene remained on the film.
